[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Both moms are stay at home moms. So it can’t be justified with working full time.[/quote]

They want a break and they see coming to your place as a break. It’s annoying when other people’s kids misbehave. If their parents won’t call them out, then you can do it in a nice way.”Hey, guys, we don’t jump on the couch at our house” etc. [/quote]

I’m a sahm to young kids and the last thing going to a friends nice home is is a break. I feel like I’m constantly following them around reminding them not to touch this or that or pick up this or go near that because it’s breakable etc. etc. etc. the whole time we are there. It requires a lot of supervision and getting back home where there aren’t fragile items all over the place and I’m not internally freaking out that they will spill their juice box is a relief. That said, they are both younger than the kids mentioned in this thread and it’s my hope that at some point I won’t need to be stuck to them like glue in the same way.

How old are these kids? And are their parents just not saying anything at all when they do these things? Have you ever said anything? Do they have a dedicated room they are supposed to be playing in? Why do you keep inviting them over? I don’t understand how any of this is going down. Personally, I’ve spent time with well behaved kids and less than well behaved kids but I have not had anything comparable to what you’re describing happenen.[/quote]
